Re: Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura

: Iam 24 years old and was diagnosed with ITP at the age of 22. I ahve been on steroidal therapy for that length of time. In the month of Feb. 2000 I am scheduled to get my spleen removed. I am looking for people with similar problems like mine. Maybe for some advice before I go this big step. Thank you.

Hi, I just signed on to the message board yesterday. I wanted to see if/when you had your Splenectomy. I had TTP (recurrent) and had a spleen removal also. If you'd like to chat with me about this then please send me an email. Christin@tx.stornet.com
